Madonna admits she hated London

Madonna has admitted that she only moved to London for the sake of her marriage - and originally disliked the city.

"I moved (to London) for love," Breakingnews.ie quotes Madonna as saying. "I never thought in a million years I'd live in London. I quite disliked the place. Then I met my husband. I realised that if I didn't live here I wouldn't get to see him very much.

"We had a long-distance relationship for a year. I thought, somebody has to compromise - which I did. Then I fell in love with London and Guy started taking me to the countryside and I started to feel comfortable here.
